Thank you for introducing Chris Langan, Dr. Malone. I'll definitely read his essays. In his approach, Langan reminds me of Konstantin Dugin and his Fourth Political Theory (for those who haven't read Dugin yet, please don't buy into the official narrative; his ideas are definitely worth serious consideration). Humanity's only remaining hope is the rejection of Hegelian dialectical materialism in which the current liberalism (and, ultimately, transhumanism) is as deeply rooted as marxism and fascism were before it.

Ah yes. Good point: the Hegel Cycle and the tyranny of Marx's dialectical engine i.e. Kantian reasoning by antinomies. I find it fascinating to learn about Franz von Baader's Christian cross-cultural influence on philosophical thought. G.F. Hegel said this about Baader:

"Scholarship has at its disposal the rich content which centuries and millennia of learning activity have delivered up to it. This content is not simply left over as a historical remain which only others have possessed, and which is past for us, something with which to stuff our memories or on which to test the acuteness of our critical literary faculties; it is not as though this content did not serve the interests of knowledge for our minds and the cause of truth. The most elevated and profound, and inward things have been brought to light in religions, philosophies, and works of art, in forms more or less pure, more or less clear or clouded, at times in a very shocking guise. We must consider it a matter of special merit that Herr Franz v. Bader [sic] continues not simply to recall such forms to memory, but with his profoundly speculative mind expressly to restore their content to scholarly respectability by exposing and establishing the philosophical idea they contain."

--Hegels Samtliche Werke as quoted in Franz von Baader's Philosophy of Love by Ramon J. Betanzos p. 30
